CHADS-VASc Scores are Proportionally Associated with Left Atrial Enlargement and Serum D-dimer Levels in Patients with Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation

Background Virchow’s triad, consisting of atrial tissue damage, a hypercoagulable state, and blood stasis, has been used to explain the thrombogenic mechanisms of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
